[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6771336, member: 8835"] Just watched episode 1 of the Amazon original "The Man in the High Castle" Since I can't gorge on it, I'm trying the one episode/one thread style of discussion like we used to have, per Morrus' suggestion. I have not read the book, nor had I ever heard of it until recently. Thus far in the series: [sblock] the US lost WW2 and DC got nuked Nazis suck Japanese own the west coast there's a resistance, but they seem to be losing the main guy character is working for the bad guys the main girl character has a film that has footage from our timeline the main girl character's boyfriend is kind of a putz, but not totally since he didn't give her up [/sblock] My current theory is that Hitler and Friends (TM) have somehow altered time to get their version of history to happen, and the film is an artifact of the original timeline. In watching how nobody really trusts anybody as they could be an informant or a spy or whatever, I have to wonder how anybody has any happiness in such a world. Seems like a total stressor to live in a world where you can't trust that you could be next for the Kiln or torture rack. Also, it was probably a bad idea for the ad agency doing this show for Amazon to re-skin a New York sub way car, but on the other hand, think about how impressively scary that might have been to get on that car that day. Catch-22. Total shock factor like the very concept of the show should be vs. Giving those Nazis an inch on American soil is always wrong. Has anybody else seen the show yet? [/QUOTE]
